Overview
Mission
Ace is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that was founded in 2000 by the household & commercial products association (hcpa). At ace, we see products as tools for maintaining healthy environments, protecting people and families, and ultimately improving lives. We also see education as an essential component of using products correctly, storing them safely, and disposing of them in sustainable ways. Our programs are designed to educate individuals on what it means to use products responsibly, to inspire healthy habits at home and teach our children and teens the dangers of product or inhalant abuse.
What it reported doing in 2024
Public education and information: the alliance for consumer education (ace) is dedicated to helping people understand the safety and benefits of household products through its three program areas: consumer care, health & well-being, and inhalant abuse prevention. Ace shares information and resources with consumers about what it means to use, store, and dispose of household products properly; the importance of disease prevention through healthy hygiene, and the dangers of inhalant abuse. Ace uses online resources, social media, conference exhibits, and other platforms to share this important information.
